The Society of American Business Editors and Writers has been awarded a $25,000 grant to provide training in investigative business reporting.
The Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation, based in Oklahoma City, announced the award as part of $1.5 million in grants to 19 journalism organizations nationwide.
The grant will help SABEW conduct a series of four regional workshops – in the East, Midwest, South and West – focusing on skills for business and financial journalists.
